with your doctor before starting a new exercise
program. Working with your doctor ahead of time is
a good way to plan an exercise program that is right
and safe for you. Consider it the first step on your
path to physical fitness.
You should also check with your doctor if you have
symptoms suggestive of heart, lung, or other serious
disease, such as:
• Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or
arms during physical activity;
• Dizziness or loss of consciousness;
• Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest,
